Editor:

Elected and appointed politicians are employees of the public. We set the scope of their work; we pay them. They work in our interest.

One lie told by an elected or appointed politician to one or more members of the public, regarding or relevant to his or her work, ought to be treated as an immediate resignation-for-cause without benefits. The fired politician should be prohibited from serving the public in any capacity for a period of 10 years.

The determination that the accused politician did lie ought be made by a federal judge who is kept unaware of the accused's identity and political party affiliation until after the determination is made.
